Heyward-Bey pays his respects to Al Davis with a TD

Two years ago, the Raiders took Darrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Today, Heyward-Bey honored Al Davis’ then-widely panned decision by muscling his way to Oakland’s first touchdown. Despite what has been a very rough outing by Jason Campbell, the touchdown pulled the Raiders within two of the Texans with a minute to go in the first half.

Heyward-Bey had earlier posted on his Twitter that Davis “changed [his] life,” and the 34-yard touchdown reception certainly put an exclamation point on his tribute.
